Who We Are

ACT-Geo provides geoscience consulting and training services. We have a global presence and experience and provide assistance to local and international oil and gas companies, government agencies, and universities.

Our offering of geoscience consulting and training is first-in-class for the following reasons:

– Fit-for-Decision: We have multiple decades of technical and leadership experience across exploration and production problems and are able to drive subsurface characterization and training fully aligned with business timelines and decisions.
– Technical Foundation: Our evaluations are grounded in first principles of geoscience concepts, rely on integration and alignment of data across core, well log and seismic scales and integrate the latest concepts, tools and technologies available.
– Cost Effective: Because of our strong fit-for-decision timelines, strong technical foundation, and limited overhead cost, we are able to offer high quality evaluations at short timelines and affordable prices.

ACT-Geo offers consulting and training across the following subject areas:

– Subsurface Data Interpretation, Correlation, Integration and Mapping
– Seismic and Sequence Stratigraphy
– Clastic reservoir, retention and charge evaluations, including fluvial, shallow marine and deepwater depositional settings.
– Play and prospect characterization, assessment and risking
– Field appraisal and development strategies
– Reservoir model building
– Core and outcrop description and integration

Graduates

Rene Jonk has more than 25 years of experience in geoscience characterization for petroleum exploration, development and research, having held technical advisor and leadership roles with ExxonMobil and Apache. He has worked extensively across offshore basins of the African and South American margins, as well as the North Sea and the Medittereanean areas. In addition, he has experience in onshore unconventional exploration and production globally. Rene’s holistic approach to depositional systems allows him to work across reservoir, seal and source evaluations, at basin to field compartment scales.

Rene is an honorary professor at the University of Aberdeen, where he teaches formal courses on seal evaluation with application to petroleum geology and CCS, mentors Petroleum Geology M.Sc. projects and is a consultant with the Sand Injectite Research Group. He is an active member of SEPM, EAGE and the Geological Society of London.

Vitor Abreu has more than 30 years of experience in the oil industry in petroleum exploration, development production and research, with a proven record in evaluating, risking and/or drilling in 22 countries and 31 sedimentary basins in the 6 continents. His areas of expertise include projects in exploration, development and production of deep water reservoirs, regional studies to define the petroleum system elements and key plays in frontier exploration, tectono-stratigraphic evolution of basins in different tectonic settings, maturing opportunities to drillable status, and play to prospect risking assessment.
Vitor has been an Adjunct Professor at Rice University since 1999, where he took responsibility for the course on Sequence Stratigraphy after Peter Vail’s retirement. He was the recipient of the Jules Braunstein Memorial Award (best poster presentation, 2002 AAPG Annual Meeting) and was appointed AAPG’s inaugural international Distinguished Instructor in 2006. As a past President-Elect of SEPM Vitor organized and chaired technical sessions at annual meetings for both AAPG and SEPM.
